Chocolate Cake in a Mug/Afternoon Lifesaver


This is my favorite new discovery. When you've got to take care of that afternoon craving, but you don't want to make a whole cake or leave evidence behind, this is the perfect solution.


1 coffee mug


1/4 C. flour (plain, not self-rising)
1/3 C. sugar
2 TBS. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 TBS. milk
3 TBS. oil
small splash of vanilla
3 TBS. chocolate chips (optional)

Mix the dry ingredients in the mug. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. I know it looks like there's no way they'll fit, but just trust me on this one.

Microwave for 2 min. 45 seconds. You can eat it straight out of the mug or dump it onto a plate. Really, it makes about two servings, which is just right for one mama on a Thursday afternoon
